SUsANNAH, wife of Samuel Cree, ESQ.,,

quainted with her. - Last Friday morn
ing our community was shocked by news OF
the death, between three and four o'clock
that morning, OF apoplexy, of Curtis A.
Bartlett, one of our best farmers and most
respected citizens. He retired the evening

after three o'clock his wife was awakened
by his loud breathing and tried to arouse
him, but could not, and, without any signs
of consciousness, he died in a few minutes.
His age was forty years. The funeral serv-
ices were held at the Congregational
church Monday afternoon. The crowded
house and deep feeling of sorrow that was
manifest by the community who knew him
well was a higher eulogy than can be ex.
pressed in words of his almost spotless
character. - 1t is one hundred twenty.
